2007

Antinori Tignanello 2007 (750ML)

95 VM / 95 WA Antinori's 2007 Tignanello is wonderfully ripe and seductive in its dark cherries, flowers, spices, tobacco, sage, cedar, mint and minerals. This is as opulent a Tignanello as I have ever tasted but there is...

Carmes De Rieussec 2007 (750ML)

The second wine of Chateau Rieussec and part of the Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite) stable. "2007 turned out to be a golden year for these mellifluous, criminally over-looked wines that tend to leave a sticky...

Chapoutier Le Meal Ermitage 2007 (750ML)

18++ JR / 94 WA Savoury, much tighter and denser than the Greffieux (which surely has a sandy element to it?) – this is more recognisably classic Hermitage. Like licking a stone on the finish and bone dry. Very long...

Chateau Carignan 2007 (750ML)

Climens 2007 (750ML)

99+ WA Tasted twice at UGC tastings, it was actually under blind conditions that the Climens 2007 re-confirmed its status as the best Sauternes of the vintage. It retains an ethereal bouquet of honey, white peach, apricot...

D'Yquem 2007 (3.0L)

98 WA / 96 WS Tasted single blind against its peers. Under blind conditions, the Yquem 2007 shines like a diamond. Nevertheless, it is initially rather taciturn on the nose, eventually opening up beautifully with touches of...

D'Yquem 2007 (6.0L)

98 WA / 96 WS Tasted single blind against its peers. Under blind conditions, the Yquem 2007 shines like a diamond. Nevertheless, it is initially rather taciturn on the nose, eventually opening up beautifully with touches of...

Dom Ruinart Blanc De Blancs 2007 (750ML)

97+ AG / 95+ WA / 94 WS/ 94 JS / 94 DE The 2007 Dom Ruinart is the first vintage made entirely by Chef de Caves Frédéric Panaïotis, which shows just how long the production cycle is in Champagne. A...

Figeac 2007 (750ML)

94 DE / 92 WE / 16.5 JR This is rich and powerful, with beautiful dark fruits that really showcase the Cabernet dominance of this wine. Great persistency, the tannins just unroll through the palate and keep on going,...

Grahams 2007 (750ML)

97 WA / 96 JS A candidate for wine of the vintage, the 2007 Graham’s Vintage Port is complete in every way. Opaque purple-colored, it offers up an ethereal perfume of smoke, mineral, Asian spices, incense, an amalgam...

Lafleur 2007 (750ML)

Philipponnat Clos des Goisses Juste Rose 2007 (750ML)

98 WA / 18 JR Based on the regular Clos des Goisses but blended with a certain percentage of red Pinot Noir from the same vineyard, the 2007 Clos des Goisses Just Rosé Brut has a lovely apricot color and shows a...

Rieussec 2007 (750ML)

19 JR / 93 WA / 93-96 WS / 90-93 VM Sweet, vaguely sticky nose. Certainly impressive for the sugar level! And there’s an attractive savoury undertow that stops it being sickly. Lots there. Reverberates. Long. Very...

Sociando Mallet 2007 (750ML)

Trimbach Gewurztraminer Sgn Hors Choix 2007 (750ML)

96 WA / 94 WS / 94 VM The 2007 Gewurztraminer Selection de Grains Nobles Hors Choix represents a cuvee designation that the Trimbachs also utilized in 1989 and 2000 for wine of near Esszencia-like richness. Essence of rose...
